“I think the supposedly funny obituary that was printed in the paper recently was ridiculous. Death is not funny. It should be a somber occasion. I do not think the SMN should print such an obituary. Even if they are paid.”

“I’ve loved this beautiful clear full moon in mid-September. It keeps me company when I’m driving home in the middle of the night, and in the morning when I go to work. I have enjoyed this even though the kids at my school were craziest the day after the moon was at its fullest!”

“I am a senior citizen with only a low-fixed income. My electric bill is as much as my rent. I must rely on food stamps to make do. There is something really wrong here.”

“I hope my legacy will be how much I love the Lord, and how much I love my family. Not how much drinking and carousing I like to do. Lord knows, that is not the legacy to leave behind.”

“If my memory serves me right the first McDonald’s was on DeRenne Avenue almost to Montgomery Crossroad. Sort of across the street from where it is now. Burger King was on DeRenne Avenue in the same spot it is now.”

Derenne and Montgomery Cross Roads run parallel to each other about 2 miles apart. You must be talking about Derenne there near Paulsen Street. If so, the Skidaway McDonalds and the Abercorn/White Bluff McDonalds were in place around 1970-1971 when I was 15 and 16 years old.

Relax, chill out and eat some gubbermint cheese or make a few calls on your Bamaphone. No need to work, plan for your future or take care of your family, that's what the gubbermint is for or so the Democrats tell us.

ps I've never heard anyone Republican or Democrat complain about helping those who truly need help and are unable to help themselves.

The proposed regulations, announced at the National Press Club by Gina McCarthy, the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, are an aggressive move by Mr. Obama to bypass Congress on climate change with executive actions he promised in his inaugural address this year.

Expect higher electric cot in the future thanks to Obama and his administration.

The Environmental Protection Agency’s dramatic new power plant emissions standards already have touched off a firestorm within the coal industry and on Capitol Hill with coal-state lawmakers from both parties are promising to push back.

The EPA is proposing a limit of 1,100 pounds of CO2 per megawatt hour for coal facilities, a figure the industry says is virtually impossible to meet with current commercially available, financially viable technology.

While such technology does exist, at this point it’s cost prohibitive — and will remain so for the foreseeable future, industry leaders and lawmakers say.

In addition to Current Electricity usage, we are helping pay for a nuclear power generating plant under construction (Nuclear Construction Cost Recovery), a Municipal Franchise Fee (that goes to cities even if you live in the unincorporated areas), Environmental Compliance Cost Recovery (nuclear waste disposal). State and Local Option Sales Tax (7%) is added to the total of all this. Yes, all these add on items are taxed too.
